Diamond, Long Lost, Is Recovered
From Glard.
Spokane, Wash., Jan. 18. (Special)
After reposing three months In ah
J Impromptu Jewel case In the form of
a chickens gizzard, a three-quarter j
carat diamond, belonging to E. 'M.
Reel, a motion picture machine opera
tor of Spokane, was restored to Its '
owner recently. Reel lost the gem,1
which Is valued at $75, from Its setting
In a ring he wore last September,
while working In the yard at his resi
dence. The chicken, then a young
Rhode Island Red rooster, seized upon
It ss a choice morsel and swallowed ,
It. His digestive qualifications were
too slight, however, for proper dlsln-,
tegratlon and the diamond lodged In ,
the gizzard. In the meanttme Reel
gave up hie search for the sparkler,,
concludlng that It was loBt to him for
all time. t A few days ago he went to
the henhouse and killed the rooster
for dinner. , Mrs. Reel was dressing
the fowl when she found the missing
diamond and now claims proprietor
ship of the stone. Reel's solace was
in the form of choice bits of the roos
ter after It was cooked.

Out of 256 losses during the past
year, one was directly traceable
to defective wiring; sixteen to
overturned or exploded lamps.
. Any practical electrician can

from defective wiring Is abso-"

can guarantee that your oil lamp
will not be overturned to ex

In the mnlter of the care of the teeth
the old maxim, prevention Is belter
than cure is doubly true. Ask your
dentist about the proper care of the
teeth and mouth and if he is properly
Informed lie can give you some valu
able advice. This bit of advice Is valu
able to you and if you do not realize it
now you will at a later date.
